Another Novel

I have writen one science-fiction novel, and I am writing another. Novel writing is quite difficult. It requires a lot of time. But I have 49,000 words and I need another 51,000 to reach my 100,000-word goal. Then and only then will I have a usable first draft. Then I have to rewrite that. Like I said. Novel writing requires a lot of time. I hope this one will be better than my first. I think in some ways it will be.
